An evening of ambient, drone, electronic textures, electroacoustics and doom folk.

Puscha is an experimental electronic artist and film composer from Naarm/Melbourne. With minimalist compositional approaches employed with hyperactivity and rhythmic ambiguity, they create hypnotic, post-ambient auditory spaces and musical impressions that eschew background and dancefloor prosaic. Taking wide influence from 20th century classical to psychedelic, deep global music to ambient techno and beyond, their music explores psychoacoustic and acousmatic modalities with the aim of provoking catharsis and deeper listening.

Abstract Human Radio is a creative moniker for artist Fin Wegener. Fin is passionate about expanding the human experience through innovative uses of technology in the arts, encompassing deep listening, improvisation and experimentalism, and develops long form works across multitudinal mediums.

Nicole Carroll's work spans installation, improvisation, and fixed media performance, across noise, soundscape, and acousmatic genres. Under the alias "n0izmkr," she builds custom synthesisers, controllers, and performance sensor systems. Her research focuses on generative systems that merge analog and digital technologies to create musical performance systems from non-musical sources.

Cloudbeard is an artist based in Mullumbimby on Bundjalung land. His performances are centred around ritualised improvisation, disintegrating loops, DIY low-tech electronics, assemblage instruments and sonic
installations. Themed and immersive, their works revolve around foxes, sonic thresholds, duration, altered states, ritual and liminality.

Jeunae Elita is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and researcher based in Black Mountain on Kabi Kabi country. Her music has been described as: 'Heavy Venus energy, like fragrant petals scattered on ruins. It reeks of a strange religiosity, while oscillating between the arcane and the fecund'.
